A stub with no independent sources. A quick Google search revealed nothing more than sales websites with this product. There are some videos of this product in use, and there is a "news" article that mostly reports what the creator said. I do not see any significant and independent coverage of this medical tool in reliable sources.

Phacoemulsification § Surgical technique, but merging it would give undue weight to this niche technique. – Thjarkur(talk)22:55, 3 December 2019 (UTC)reply
